Anybody know what the announcement on Oct 1st is about? I have heard anything from a merger with parcel, buying yrc, or just shutting the doors... many of the ups freight trailers are starting to have the freight wording removed..

Their dollys are not compatible with freight dollys.

Jacobs is looking to sell XPO, Just the old Conway side of Xpo. Most of the Conway terminals are bigger and newer then the old overnite terminals.
 
Should we be watching our mailboxes for a letter......Geeze Guess we will have to wait and see if it turns out to be a fact or just rumors.
 
It's fast approaching small paks peak season, they are short equipment, we have plenty of empties around, drivers on call. Might be the best of the worst things that could happen....
 
No one knows what or if there'll be an announcement at all. No matter what theres nothing we can do except stand strong stand United stand with our brothers and sisters.

We can't work small pac until peak..per package contract...I think that the big announcement is nothing..this is just how rumors get started and run wild

You might be right, that would simplify it all. How about this, I was speaking with another driver and his guess was, it is an announcement of a working deal with Amazon. They cut ties with XPO, Fed-Ex walked away, Amazons network is behind schedule. UPS Freight has plenty of open capacity, peak is almost here. Heard stranger theories. A low level supervisor says she heard it is a consolidation of smaller terminals in low to medium size markets. We shall see.......
 
I figured it out!!!! All the rumors are true.. we are wearing the new polo ups parcel uniforms while sitting in a self driving ups freight truck. We will being pulling and xpo and a YRC pup and heading to an Amazon warehouse......lol

Tried to order new uniforms last week. Was told couldn't order until November because of uniform update. Was also told new uniforms will be all brown.
 
No clue. Hopefully if something is announced that it is good. But I am.guessing it will involve a new upper management or as lame as a uniform announcement
 
Who ever started the rumor did one hell of a job. I've had mangers,mechanics,drivers,and dock workers asking me. Like I know wtf is going on
